Watermelon Feta Salad With Cucumber

The sweet watermelon and the salty feta are a wonderful pairing! And no, I am not pregnant. Both go really well together. After all, the watermelon is related to the cucumber (oh dear, vegetable inbreeding!): Both are members of the cucurbit family (Curcubitaceae). Just like the pumpkin and the zucchini. Speaking of cucumber: it is also a part of this dish. Cucumber is often eaten with feta. And feta is often eaten with honey, at least I know it from Greece. See: watermelon feta salad with cucumber makes perfect sense.

Another dish that uses watermelon and cucumber is the world’s best gazpacho (at least I love it that much)! This gazpacho should be honored in the blog next summer. Until then, I invite you to use the recipe from my Instagram page.

Fortunately, there are already some tasty vegan feta (Veta) variants on the market. I think the ones from Violife Foods and Bedda are very tasty, at least cold (unfortunately I couldn’t enjoy the Violife feta melted at all, but that’s another story). If you want things to be quick and spontaneous, then simply use a finished product. But: vegan sheep’s cheese or vegan almond cheese can really be made yourself without much effort. You should only know it a few hours before you want to eat it. Then you should have a strong blender, and a few simple ingredients to put inside.

I have calculated the portions so that you will be full of them, which you will certainly be thanks to the Veta and the bread. And at the same time, you have a refreshing meal with the melon and cucumber, after which you can enjoy the summer day relaxed. What goes well with watermelon salad is a piece of fresh, soft, bread. I love to use it to soak up the juice from the salad, the delicious dressing and the crumbled feta leftovers. As is the case with many Greek dishes, the leftover layer of oil.

I would love to see the result – and share it. So please do not forget to tag me on Instagram: @plantbased.redhead.cooks

Furthermore, I am also looking forward to your comment, no matter if you want to tell me how good it was, or if you have some suggestions or questions.
